Constipação Intestinal: Abordagem Medicamentosa e não Medicamentosa

Constipation is a prevalent condition in both adults and children. The clinical criteria for treatment are well established, and different non-drug approaches (fiber, hydration, physical activity, regular bowel habits, biofeedback, botulinum toxin injection, surgery) and medication (laxatives and purgatives) have been proposed to intervene in problem. However, supported by the media, in purely commercial character and sometimes improperly sustained medical advice, even with little demonstrated efficacy and safety in controlled studies, the use of laxatives persists as a treatment of constipation. Laxatives and purgatives may be needed within a pre - operative preparation for radiological and endoscopic procedures, among other reasons, and exceptionally, under medical supervision, as initial adjuvant in the treatment of constipation

A Platform-Based Software Design Methodology for Embedded Control Systems: An Agile Toolkit

A discrete control system, with stringent hardware constraints, is effectively an embedded real-time system and hence requires a rigorous methodology to develop the software involved. The development methodology proposed in this paper adapts agile principles and patterns to support the building of embedded control systems, focusing on the issues relating to a system's constraints and safety. Strong unit testing, to ensure correctness, including the satisfaction of timing constraints, is the foundation of the proposed methodology. A platform-based design approach is used to balance costs and time-to-market in relation to performance and functionality constraints. It is concluded that the proposed methodology significantly reduces design time and costs, as well as leading to better software modularity and reliability

Análise SWOT na perspectiva do cliente de empresa de serviço

SWOT analysis is a strategic planning analysis tool that assists in identifying the internal environment (strengths and weaknesses) and external environment (opportunities and threats) in order to provide survival, maintenance, growth and development of the company. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze a company based on its SWOT analysis. The company analyzed was a swimming school, with children and adults as public. In the collection of the data, a questionnaire structured in: internal aspects (attendance, physical aspects, swimming pools and administrative) and external aspects (other items) was applied to the clients. A descriptive analysis of the results was carried out and the Wilcoxon test was used to validate the hypotheses. In the view of users, the company has more strengths than weak ones, and its opportunities are greater than threats. The work contributes to a different look at the use of SWOT analysis.

ODE: ontology-based software development environment

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration in Software Engineering Environments (SEE). In this paper we discuss an ontology-based approach to improve tool integration and present ODE, an ontology-based SEE.Eje: Ingeniería de Software y Bases de Datos (ISBD)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Competency management : analysis of Brazilian studies between 2008 and 2018

O artigo analisa a produção bibliográfica publicada nos últimos 10 anos acerca da gestão por competências no setor público. Para esse trabalho os artigos foram selecionados na base de dados da CAPES por englobar inúmeras bases de dados. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática sobre a gestão de competências na administração pública entre 2008 e 2018. Para tanto, estamos considerando apenas trabalhos com Qualis /CAPES de A1 a B2 da base de dados da CAPES. Após aplicação dos filtros restaram nove artigos a serem analisados em profundidade. A partir dos artigos selecionados, foi possível perceber que as organizações estudadas não apresentam de forma objetiva e clara as estratégias organizacionais, o que seria fundamental para que essas organizações pudessem conhecer quais as necessárias competências para à consecução dos objetivos estratégicos institucionais, e a partir desse ponto, mapear as competências e desenvolver estratégias para sanar os possíveis gaps existentes.The article analyzes the bibliographic production published in the last 10 years about management by competencies in the public sector. For this work, the articles were selected from the CAPES database as they encompass numerous databases. A systematic review of competence management in public administration was carried out between 2008 and 2018. For this purpose, we are considering only works with Qualis / CAPES from A1 to B2 from the CAPES database. After applying the filters, nine articles remained to be analyzed in depth. From the selected articles, it was possible to perceive that the studied organizations do not present the organizational strategies in an objective and clear way, which would be fundamental so that these organizations could know what are the necessary competencies to achieve the institutional strategic objectives, and from that point, map the skills and develop strategies to remedy the existing gaps

The Inhibitive Effect of Sebacate-Modified LDH on Concrete Steel Reinforcement Corrosion

In recent decades, layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been proposed as innovative corrosion inhibitors for reinforced concrete. Their protective action is based on the ability to intercalate specific anions in the interlayer and on their ability to exchange the intercalated anion. In the present study, an organically charged LDH, with sebacate anions in the interlayer (LDH-S), is proposed as a water-repellent additive for mortar. The waterproofing efficiency of LDH-S and the associated corrosion inhibition ability has been evaluated in reinforced mortar samples. A 42% decrease in the water capillary absorption coefficient has been estimated when 3% LHD-S is added to a mortar. Both the passivation processes of the steel rebars during the curing period and the initiation of corrosion due to chloride exposure have been studied by electrochemical measurements. Three different mortars have been evaluated: reference mortar (REF), mortar with Mg-Al LDH (LDH), and mortar with LDH-sebacate (LDH-S). The latter has shown an important protective capacity for preventing the initiation of corrosion by chloride penetration, with an inhibitory efficiency of 74%. The presence of LDHs without sebacate in the interlayer also improved the performance of the mortar against rebar corrosion, but with lower efficiency (23% inhibitory efficiency). However, this protection is lost after continued chloride exposure over time, and corrosion initiates similarly to the reference mortar. The low corrosion current density values registered when LDH-S is added to the mortar may be related to the increased electrical resistance recorded in this mortar
